Has anyone been to Israel recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
